Arthurs Pass

We caught the Tranz Scenic train from Christchurch to Arthurs pass – Virgin trains should take a lesson – you have to turn up 30m mins beforehand to check in and get your seat allocation – none of this run for the train at the last minute at Euston & hope that your seat reservation will work!! But then again with only a couple of trains a day it can work like that!!

Unfortunately the scenes from the train weren’t that great – lots of cloud and rain – with a few brooding moutains in the background.

Train to Arthurs Pass

We had hoped to do some walking in the national park around Arthurs Pass, but due to the amount of water that had fallen from the sky in the past week all but one track was closed (even that was a “that might be alright tomorrow”) – even the tracks to the waterfalls were too dangers, which is quite ironic.
